Introduction to Airtable bases

An Airtable base contains all of the information you need for a particular project or collection. Each of the square icons on your homepage is a different base. It's kind of like a workbook in a traditional spreadsheet, and can contain multiple tables of content. For example, a base for a sales pipeline could have separate tables for sales leads, companies, and deal opportunities, whereas a base for planning a wedding could have separate tables for potential venues, attendees, and wedding registry items.

If you're new to Airtable, we recommend starting with a template so you can see how a base is typically structured. You can choose an existing template from our template gallery that is tailored to your use case, but you can also easily modify it to suit your own needs.
